But I can participate in support and user relations, translating and discussing. I did that before I was contacted by Mandrake - and much more since then. I have not much money, so I pay back in the way I am able to. I often read posts like, "I would help but I'm a newbie and I don't have the skills to be a good help" - this is a lame excuse, I can't think of anybody who is able to run Linux but would not be of any help at all. /me thinks that we should even increase our communication with users to make them aware of the fact that even people like me can be of help.
If you think like me, then Linux is not for free like friendship is not for free!

I'm feel sorry that the people from GRUB were rude to you. Still, I think you will find friendly support here (even though you may here "Okay but propose a patch" if you do many suggestions of new features :p).
In short: it's up to you what you want to do, but I'm pretty sure you can help us in a domain, be it marketing, documentation, advocacy of support. And if you're really from Athens as you username suggests, I guess we'd be glad to have you in the Mageia Greek translation team
Yeah, the people who were associated with Mageia are VERY friendly and helpful. It was quite a stark contrast. The guy who was rude to me was the head developer of GRUB itself, I think. He was saying things like "can you read," and giving me vague instructions and getting mad at me for not understanding them. He even called me unethical because I posted information in the wrong place. But let's not dwell on that.
